Bucharest - Skiing red runs with Dracula
|
Thanks to Bram Stoker’s gothic novel Dracula, it’s hard to mention Transylvania without conjuring up images of vampires. But far from being a turn-off to people thinking of skiing in Romania’s main resort, Poiana Brasov – 187km (116 miles) from the capital, Bucharest – is often part of the allure. |
Brussels: The best of Belgium
|
Like many other Belgian towns, Brussels claims to be the ‘chocolate capital of the world’, but this is one boast that is legitimate. It was in the Saint-Hubertus Royal Gallery that, in 1912, a Swiss-born chocolate-maker named Jean Neuhaus invented the famous Belgian chocolates now known as pralines. A praline is a bite-size chocolate with a filling that can consist of cacao, marzipan, fruit, nuts, or even liqueur. |
